I’m looking over teams’ won-loss records at home and away, and it strikes me as strange this year.
I’m used to seeing big disparities. In past years, it wasn’t unusual to see even bad teams with winning home records. If I remember correctly, the NBA historically has the highest home winning percentage of any of the professional leagues.
But this year, even dominant teams seem to have lots of home losses.
Has anyone done an analysis?
And if we’re trending back towards parity, then why?

This was a good observation/question. Deserves an answer. I don’t have one.
Pessimism doesn’t make you smart, just pessimistic.

I don't have an answer, but I'm always good for a guess that's most likely wrong.
It feels like we have a lot of young talent in the L and a more than usual number of teams that are playing well. I'd say parity via an abundance of league wide high quality play.
Not very astute ^^^^
